How to Remove the Rear Wiper of a Honda Fit?
2 Answers
Lift the wiper spring arm to make the wiper stand upright, and you will find a small square opening in the middle. Press the plastic block inside while using your other hand to pull the wiper upward, and the wiper can be removed. At this point, remember to slowly and carefully place the wiper spring arm back onto the windshield to avoid accidentally touching the spring, which could cause it to snap back and damage the windshield.
I remember disassembling the Fit's rear wiper many times before, and found it quite interesting. First, turn off the engine and park the car securely—safety is the top priority. Gently lift the wiper arm, being careful not to damage the glass. Then, locate the small button or clip at the connection point between the arm and the wiper blade, press it, and slide the blade out—simple as that. I usually check it every quarter, cleaning off dirt to prevent jamming. After removal, you can wash it with soapy water or replace it with a new blade—Fit models are common and easy to find. Here’s a little tip: In winter, warm up the car before removing it to avoid brittle plastic parts. The whole process takes about five minutes—saves money and builds skills. Watch online tutorials a few times to avoid mistakes. In short, DIY is fun—don’t be afraid to take your time and learn.
